MISSION STATEMENT

PEDF’s mission statement guides all activities of our teaching staff and volunteers:

• To provide a dynamic, creative experience that fosters a quality artistic education in a nurturing, positive and safe environment;

• To promote confidence, self-esteem and team spirit;

• To enable individuals to reach their full potential with qualified instruction in an atmosphere that respects the integrity of each individual

How a Non-Profit Dance Studio Works

PEDF is a non-profit organization which utilizes its funds to operate the dance studio. Any profit, which may be realized, is put back into the studio for the benefit of the organization and its members. PEDF is owned by the collective membership and operated / administered by the Board of Directors. While the Board of Directors is responsible for the Governance and Operation of the Society and Studio; the Artistic Director is responsible for the dance programming. The Artistic Director, teaching staff and the Board of Directors work collaboratively to address concerns and to nurture innovation and accountability in the operation of PEDF.

Parent Commitment - As a not-for-profit dance studio we are required by Alberta Registries to hold an Annual General Meeting within 30 days of the start of the season. It is vital that we achieve quorum at this meeting. In order to achieve quorum we request that one parent per dancer make themselves available for this meeting.

With our Not-For-Profit status we are able to offer monthly fundraising actives that allow families to earn funds to cover individual dance cost. Please contact the studio at [email protected] to learn more.
